2: Offence and Defence

I walked for about an hour through the forest, seeing pokemon of all sorts run around the forest from above the treetops to the bottom of rivers and cliffs. It was almost a childhood dream come true. It truly would have been if rather than being a pokemon, I was human and a trainer.

Imagine I ended up in a world only full of pokemon and people didn’t exist.

At least then I wouldn’t have to worry about being caught. Now that I’m thinking about it, what region of the pokeverse am I in? I saw a pair of fletchlings, a bunnelby, and a chespin which are all Kalos right? So generation 6 maybe. Either way, I am in pokemon, as a pokemon. WHICH IS AWSOME.

A bit further along my trip, I find a small stream with a rocky bank with auzril, marill and azumarill, the whole evolution line, sitting there beside the water, a beam of bubbles strikes one of the azumarill and a laughing marill pops up from the stream. I sat in the shade watching the group of pokemon as they played around before moving along. I needed to figure out what the group of pokemon meant I would know where it was.

I continued down south before smelling something like, oil, fuel. I hurried along following the scent till reaching a mangled piece of metal beside a cliff leaking whatever was making the scent. Something was, familiar with it. Looking up, it was just more forest and there didn’t appear to be anything else around. Looking from where I was standing, I didn’t see anything inside and thinking about it, the smell was gasoline. I walked up to the side and looked inside and it was the inside of a car.

My car.

The car where I died.

I really did die. This is where it happened. That drunkard hit me off the cliff and killed me. Looking inside, going through the centre console and the drivers side seat, was a large, serrated chunk of stone. Looking at my scar, I knew what caused it. There was nothing else that could of cause my scar so this rock killed me.

My whole 30 years of life came to an end here. My friends, my family, my future wife. My home, all gone because of someone else’s poor choices.

I just sat there, starring at my end and new beginning.

How does someone go on knowing that all they worked for is now ripped away from them? How?

It was late into the evening when I decided I needed to find shelter for the night. I decided to head back to the cave as the sun finally set. As the moon rose, I felt more energetic and thinking about it, umbreons are nocturnal and diurnal. I didn’t need to find a cave to hide in till morning if I wanted. I started running around, jumping from tree to tree, rock to rock. I may have lost my old life, but I had a new one ahead of me. Stopping to get a drink at the stream where the azumaril line where before, I investigated the water and noticed that while there was the occasional magikarp, there was also other types of fish that looked a lot like from earth.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

I guess not everything is a pokemon. I guess that makes some sense but how many other animals are there.

I suddenly noticed I was quite hungry and before I noticed, I had a fish and was eating it. It didn’t feel wrong, almost as if I was eating a cooked steak. The taste was quite nice and after eating it, I was feeling full. (It was quite a large fish).

I decided to have another drink when im sent flying. Looking back to where I was, a noctowl was standing there. It then clicked in my head and I lashed out. I appear behind the noctowl before striking it in the back with a purple aura around my paw. Knocking the bird forward, it found its footing and managed to get airborne before turning around and shouting which I felt. It wasn’t bad but it hurt.

Dashing away, stars appeared all around me before launching towards the owl and as much as it tried dodging, a large amount of the attack struck the flying menace knocking it to the ground. Quickly speeding towards the downed opponent, a black and purple set of bullets shot out and struck the bird sending it rolling.

Clearly outmatched, the noctowl flees, clearly wounded. I on the other hand, simply stood starring at the fleeing bird before calming down.

I better figure out how to fight on my own decision rather than by nature. That wasn’t fun fighting without control.

Sitting down under a tree, before anything else, I notice a blue tint on the wood and looking at myself, the rings on my body are glowing and after a bit, I can get them to change brightness from at least the one on my forehead, to become bright enough to light up ahead of me, or dim them all to nothing making me completely black excluding the slight discoloured fur where the scar is and my eyes.

I decide to make myself completely black before going back to my original thought pattern. Feeling around in my mind, I come across a strange feeling when it comes to my moves. I tried to feel it out but nothing. I tried getting the sensation of fighting but I guess it wasn’t good enough but the thought reacted to it. I decided fuck it and thought it might be a word so I think move set and it suddenly was clear enough I could work with.

I spent till the sun rose and a bit after sorting it out but in the end, I managed to work out what moves I had available and I was surprised at that I had more than four. Thinking about it though, why would a pokemon suddenly forget a move to gain a new one. That’s like forgetting how to drive a manual car in order to learn how to drive an automatic.

But in the end, my move set was this. I think.

I wish it had more variation to move typing but that’s a fair amount I have access to. I suddenly notice how hungry and thirsty I am again but rather than fish, I notice an apple tree nearby, so I have those for breakfast before heading off into the wilderness.

I wonder if there are people in this world or is it just pokemon. Seeing as I don’t know where I am in the world exactly, but it does seem like the Kalos region, I should get an idea where I am if I find a road or city.
